Standoff Precision ID in 3-D (SPI-3D)

Program Manager: Dr. Monte Turner (STO)

Mission:

The SPI-3D program will develop and demonstrate the ability to provide precision geolocation of ground targets combined with high-resolution 3D imagery at useful standoff ranges. These dual capabilities will be provided using a sensor package composed of commercially available components. It will be capable of providing "optical quality precision at radar standoff ranges" and have the ability to overcome limited weapons effects obscuration, and penetrate moderate foliage. The figure below shows the operational concept of the SPI-3D system.
